Man United are interested to sign an young Argentine playmaker this summer. But, they face heavy competition from Real Madrid in the race. The player had an interesting season and is yet to make any decision about his future.
Man United are desperate to improve their attack this summer. They are set to part ways with many of the current stars. They have started the transfer window on a strong note. The Red Devils are very close to sign both Cunha and Mbeumo.
On the other hand, there can be some key changes in Real Madrid squad this summer. Xabi Alonso has taken over as the head coach. He needs to replace Luka Modric who will leave Los Blancos after writting golden history.
Man United join the race for Real Madrid target
The star in question here is Nico Paz of Como. He is academy graduate of Real Madrid who joined Serie a side Como last summer. The player then enjoyed a very good 2024/25 season where he impressed everyone. He played 35 games for Como and scored 6 goals with 8 assists.
According to Caught Offside, Man United scouts are very impressed with Paz. They are interested to sign the Argentine but face heavy competition from Madrid. Los Blancos have €8 million buy back clause and are keen to trigger it.

Xabi Alonso is said to be a huge admirer of Nico Paz. Madrid view the Argentine as long term successor of Luka Modric. But, the player can opt against the move if he is not guaranteed a regular spot. The situation will also depend on what happens at Como.
Cesc Fabregas is wanted by Inter Milan as new head coach. Earlier, the manager rejected offers from top clubs to stay at Como. If he does that again, he can convince Paz to stay at Como. Otherwise, the Argentine can leave for bigger club.
